Frida Kahlo Way, Bufano's Statue, and MLK
The SF Chronicle printed two letters in support of Frida Kahlo Way--one of them mine.
It was 50 years ago April 4 that Martin Luther King was assassinated, a fact that Leslie Simon brought to our attention that morning, when Supervisor Norman Lee called a press conference to announce the renaming of Phelan Avenue to Friday Kahlo Way. (More on that later) She reminded us of the Bufano statue standing between us and the Science Hall, purportedly made from guns that people turned in at SF City Hall after the assassinations of both MLK and Robert Kennedy in 1968, five years after the assassination of President John Kennedy.
